Just back from a week away with my BFF, teaching at a conference. Talks went well, weather was beautiful, resort was lovely, and we got to go horseback riding for the first time in ten years. Although my horse was a bit of a brat ( and spooked once, but I got him under control quickly), it was a great ride and I’m looking forward to riding again next month in Hawaii.
Grateful to be healthy and in shape at this age, able to manhandle my giant heavy suitcase, ride a horse with no problems, and lecture successfully to my peers. I don’t take any of it for granted.
Still having sporadic text messages from Spa Guy. Perhaps after my vacation in Hawaii with my sister a month from now, I might ask if he’s interested in me coming for a visit some weekend. I’m not ready to face actual dating again, so he might be the perfect stopgap solution. I’m still on the fence a bit. But dang, he’s handsome, smart, sexy, and good company for the short time he’s available. That might tide me over for a while.
